Part 1 of this blog addressed the different levels of autonomous driving as defined by SAE for road vehicles and introduced the topic of autonomous farming. This blog will provide additional information about autonomous farming applications as well as lift trucks. All of these areas are well-controlled environments that do not need the extensive mapping and understanding of varying traffic rules that impact autonomous road vehicles.
Autonomous Farming
In 2016, Case IH developed anAutonomous Concept Vehicleto demonstrate how it would be possible to remotely monitor and control machines directly for agriculture. The concept could be applied to tillage, planting, spraying and harvesting. Since it was announced, Case IH continued to evolve the technology and improve its initial concept. In 2018, Case IH initiated a collaborating with Bolthouse Farms on an autonomous tractor pilot program. These types of real-world applications are necessary to address the unique requirements of autonomous farming.
自行车升降卡车
In Sept 2018,Otto Motors™是一个ClearPath机器人的部门，宣布推出OTTO OMEGA，声称是世界上第一个真正的自动驾驶升降机。电梯卡车可以实时对工厂地板的变化作出反应，并绕过障碍物，以确保及时交付。在完全自主模式下，它可以接收要放置的物品，交付零件，跨越线条，交叉码头，运输敦照等。它还具有半自主模式，因此工人可以接管更复杂的加载或卸载任务。通过集中控制系统，车辆收到订单，报告其状态并实时地通知人类问题。
